Effect of early use of noradrenaline on in-hospital mortality in haemorrhagic shock after major trauma: a propensity-score analysis

Abstract: The results of the present study suggest that noradrenaline use in the early phase of traumatic HS does not seem to affect mortality adversely. This observation supports a rationale for equipoise in favour of a prospective trial of the use of vasopressors in HS after trauma.

“…In this registry, severe bleeding is defined as the need for an early transfusion of at least 4 units of PRBC within the first 6 hours after hospital admission. 35,36 Patients who died of hemorrhagic causes before receiving 4 units of PRBCs were also included. The patients who died on the scene or during hospital transfer without any blood transfusion were not included.…”

“…However, previous retrospective studies have highlighted an association between the use of vasopressors and mortality in trauma patients [37–39]. By correcting for confounding factors, our group recently reported in a large multicenter study that early use of vasopressors was not associated with mortality in trauma patients presenting with hemorrhagic shock [15]. Similar to this study, our predictive model takes into account the most relevant factors of illness severity, which may explain the lack of association between vasopressors and AKI.…”

“…In the database, hemorrhagic shock is defined by the transfusion of at least four units of packed red blood cells (RBC) within the first 6 h [14, 15]. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined by at least one traumatic lesion on the initial cerebral CT scan.…”

“…All patients had a contrast-enhanced whole-body computed tomography (CT) to assess injury severity in the initial phase of care. In the database, hemorrhagic shock was defined by transfusion requirements of at least four units of packed red blood cells (RBC) within the first 6 h [18,19].…”
